Armageddon Rise Of The New World Order (11 page)

Nathan spoke. “Inside this box are several different melee weapons, I want each of you to look through and find one that bests suits you. Whatever weapon you pick it should feel like an extension of yourself, not just a weapon.”

Nathan paused a moment to gather his thoughts then continued. “I will train you as best I can but I warn you this is not for fun. I am going to teach you to kill your opponent quickly, quietly and efficiently. Go through the weapons and get a feel for them, I’ll be back shortly.”

Nathan walked pass the group towards his tent. Once inside he pulled the picture of Kayla he had put in the silver chest out of his shirt. “I love you baby.” Nathan had tried several times to call Kayla from his cell since his departure from D.C. but could not get a signal; he tried now to no avail. Nathan sighed then left the tent. As he walked out he noticed everyone trying out weapons, except for Anthony who was holding a sheathed samurai sword. Nathan approached. “You still like that sword huh.” Anthony looked at the sword then responded. “Well I still remember some of what you taught me, plus its less complicated than some of the things in that box.” Nathan smiled. “Nice and simple, I knew you’d pick that sword.” Nathan then moved to Darion, Anthony turned to regard the two.

Darion skeptically asked. “You don’t know how to use all of these do you?”

Nathan took the pair of short steel sai Darion was holding and put on an impressive twirling display with them. Backwards, forwards then alternating up and down. He then spun them both forward with amazing speed, stopped and flipped the handle so that the blade lay on his forearm while the steel handle protruded between his index and middle fingers. He handed the sai back to Darion and replied. “I know enough.” Darions jaw dropped. “Where did you learn that?”

Anthony added. “Yeah, that’s a good question; I’m guessing when you were in Japan.”

Nathan cocked his eyebrow. “You have your secrets and I have mine.” Referring to Anthony’s missing car. Anthony nodded. “Ok, I see how it is.”

Jason and Alexia were still going through the box, neither really feeling comfortable with any of them so far. Nathan moved to assist. He grabbed what appeared to be a common walking stick and handed it to Jason. “Try this.” Jason questioned. “A stick?”

Nathan grabbed the stick and pulled on the end to unsheathe a hidden kitana. He then handed it back to Jason who was more pleased with his stick. Nathan walked over to the chest and searched through the various items until he came upon a small mace with a short 8 inch handle and a spiked end about the size of a baseball. He grabbed it then spoke to his sister. “Come here Lex.” Alexia saw the mace and her initial reaction wasn’t very good. Nathan continued

“I’ve tried to practice with this but I wasn’t graceful enough.” Alexia looked at the blunt object and responded. “It’s just a mace.” thinking of her brothers earlier display with the sai. Nathan shook his head and pressed a small button on the handle. The head of the mace dropped about 4 foot on a thin fiber wire. Nathan swung it around tentatively, then pressed the button again which retracted the mace to its former position.

Nathan said. “You would pretty much have to train yourself, but your fighting style is much more fluid than mine.”

As the afternoon went on Nathan helped everyone with their respective weapons except for Alexia who was learning on her own. Jason wasnt doing bad with his weapon but he wasnt excelling either. Nathan looked at his watch and noticed it was almost 5pm. “Jason.” Jason turned to Nathan. “Yeah.” Nathan said “Do me a favor and check the five o’clock news headlines please.” Jason nodded. “Sure”

Nathan asked Jason specifically because he seemed to be getting frustrated. A couple of minutes later Nathan had Darion twirling his sai when an arrow shot between them both and into a tree. Nathan turned to see Jason holding the bow the old man at the gun store had given him. Impressed but upset for having an arrow shot so close to his face Nathan grabbed one of his nickel plated 45's and fired at a tree about 6 feet from Jason. Jason dove on the ground while Anthony and Alexia ran over to see what happened. Nathan walked over Darion and beast following. “The next time you shoot something in my direction it better be to save my life.”

Jason looked up. “Sorry.”

Nathan put his pistol away then assisted Jason in getting to his feet. He then turned to look at the arrow imbedded in the tree where he once stood. “Hit that one.” Nathan said as he pointed to a tree further back.

Jason looked at Nathan, pulled an arrow from the quiver on his hip and fired at a tree a good bit further than the one Nathan pointed at. Nathan looked then said. “You missed.” Jason fired off another shot that landed less than half a foot from his previous. Nathan looked at Jason as he smiled, the others were impressed but Nathan wanted to see how good Jason was. “Ok hit that.”

Nathan pointed to a target on the small range they had fired on earlier. It was about 70 yards away, a big jump from the 30 or so he just fired. Jason looked at the target, took a deep breath then lined up another arrow. Jason lifted his sights up to compensate for the fall rate while simultaneously adjusting for the slight westerly breeze. He pulled the bow string a little tighter then let go. The arrow soared through the air as all eyes followed it to miss the red bull’s eye and hit in the area of where the upper thigh would be. Jason turned to the group. “I’m a little off.” Before anyone else could speak Nathan asked. “Where did you learn to do that?”

“California youth archery champion 2030 thru 32. My dad used to take me hunting when I was a kid, back before the hunting laws. I never felt comfortable with the kick of the rifle so my dad got me a bow. I practiced until I became pretty good.” Nathan asked. “Why didn’t you say anything before?” Jason shrugged. “It’s been a while since I’ve shot a bow, plus I didn’t know you had one.”

Darion cut in. “So you’re telling me you can’t hit the side of a barn with a pistol from 10 feet but you can hit an apple from 60 yards with a bow.” Jason replied smartly. “Well I used to be able to hit a fly from a hundred, but I’m a little rusty.” Nathan asked. “Can you make arrows?” Jason shrugged. “I never tried.” Nathan said. “Well there are about 20 arrows in the quiver that should hold you for a while if you recover them. I still want you to learn firearms and the sword I gave you but it would be a big waste to let your skill with a bow go unused. I want you to practice shooting as well as making arrows.” Nathan paused. “Eventually you are going to teach others that skill, once the MRE’s run out hunting our own food is going to be essential.” Nathan nodded at Jason with pride; he then turned to the group. “Let’s set up for dinner, its time everyone was.....enlightened.”

                           *  *    *

As the group finished their dinner they sat around the fire with the sun setting, all waiting for Nathan to explain what they were doing here and what they were going to do next. Nathan sat on his silver chest, beast lying at his feet. He looked to each of his companions, his family and then began.

“Anthony and Darion know a good deal more than you two.” Nathan looked at Alexia and Jason. “But they don’t know everything. I’ll catch you two up by saying that I knew this was coming. Not like you know the world is coming to an end because of the course its leaders have set us on but know as in, I saw it.” Nathan didn’t let the questions pasted on Jason and Alexia’s face come out before he continued. “I had visions, some of which are living now and others that have not happened yet. The point I’m trying to make is that I knew this was coming and have been preparing for it my entire life. We are here because I planned for us to be here, because whatever being or force that runs the universe planned for us to be here. Our group will grow very quickly...I have seen that, and when it does we must be prepared to lead them.”

Everyone looked at each other skeptically; Nathan saw it, stood up and tried to counter that skepticism as he walked around the group. First to his friend. “Anthony, an expert at almost every type of firearm known, very disciplined very patient, wise beyond his years.” Nathan then held his hand towards his brother. “Darion, educated in the true ways of the world, of our enemy. You know history as everyone should, the truth the way it was before man perverted, corrupted and changed it for their own ends.” Nathan stood tall with pride as he looked to his young sister. “Alexia......only seventeen and one of the best martial artists I’ve ever seen. You will teach those we help how to fight for themselves. Even you Jason are here for a reason, you have exceptional skill with a bow and I know you will show your worth many times over.”

“And you.” Anthony asked more for Nathan to know why he was here than for anyone else.

Nathan stopped for a moment to think. “Me...To bring everyone together so that we can give people a choice between liberty and tyranny.” Nathan looked at his wise friend, educated brother and strong sister. “That has always been my purpose.”

Everyone went silent for a while. Nathan went to his seat and spoke quietly. “Enjoy this peace while you can, the war begins tomorrow.”

After another short pause Jason spoke out. “Oh no, you don’t get off that easily you always try to end these discussions of yours with something that is supposed to scare us. Oooooh, war is coming, end of the world, haven’t heard that before."

Everyone but Nathan stopped and then burst into laughter. He looked around. Anthony put a hand on his friends shoulder. “You can be a little mellow dramatic Nate.” Alexia agreed as she bit her lip “Yeah, you can.” Nathan nodded, conceded the point then asked. “Ok, what else do you want to know?”

Alexia spoke first. “Like who’s really behind this.” Jason was next “Yeah and Armageddon. Is this the real Armageddon like in the bible or is it just WW III?”

Darion answered. “Actually I think their one in the same.” Darion looked at Nathan. “Sorry.”

Nathan was happy to let his brother take the reins. “No, you go ahead. I’ll fill in the gaps.”

Darion continued. “Let’s see...alright the New World Order. The NWO has been in the works for years, a good estimate would be about three hundred or so but the NWO as a group with real possibilities didn’t come about until the 1900's and later a reality in the 1940's and 50's with the creation of the Bilderberg group. The NWO is in concept a plan for a one world government with one group controlling all of the planets resources and citizens. All of which has been orchestrated by the Illuminati. The Illuminati are the oldest secret society, going as far back as biblical times maybe farther.” Nathan cut in to assist. “But history has not always known them by that name.” Nathan looked at Darion who motioned for him to proceed. Nathan nodded as he continued “The oldest secret society ever recorded or heard of was actually the first and true form of devil worship. That society was known as the brotherhood of the snake, or dragon, referring to the serpent as the morning star bringer of light and knowledge.....Lucifer. They didn’t worship Lucifer himself but the knowledge that he brought, their sign, the true sign of the devil is not the pentagram as the Catholic Church would have you believe and the devil’s appearance as a goat or horned beast is also propaganda put out by the Catholic Church against Pagans.” Nathan laughed aloud which confused the group. He explained. “Once when I was right out of the academy we arrested a guy who said he was a devil worshipper, he had a pentagram and horned goat tattooed on his back. I told him he had the Pagan sign of fertility on his back and asked him if he was planning on bearing many children.” Nathan shook his head. “So many people have no idea where their beliefs come from, they just blindly believe.”

Jason stood up. “Wait a minute, I’m Catholic. I was raised going to church and Sunday school and I...”

Nathan calmly interrupted. “And you’ve been told like so many others what is right, what is wrong and how to believe. Haven’t you ever stopped to think that what you were told might be wrong, or at least not entirely accurate?” Nathan saw the disdain on Jason’s face. “I’m sorry but I am not a big fan of the Catholic Church. The foundation of the Catholic religion has distorted the true origins of Christianity for their own ends.” Nathan continued. “The Christian religion we have today is filled with Pagan beliefs and rituals, Constantine didn’t change to Christianity out of faith he did it for political gain. The Pagans worshipped the sun god on SUNday therefore the Sabbath was moved from Saturday for the Pagans. They were celebrating the birthday of the sun god on December 25
th
so even though historically Jesus was born in the spring they moved it to the 25
th
for the Pagans. The Pagans had an equally divine male and female god so Mary mother of Jesus was turned into a goddess by the Catholic Church. Easter, Pagan Holiday, Halloween, Pagan.” Nathan stopped he could tell he was getting to Jason. “I’m sorry; I know it’s a lot to take in.”

Alexia was very interested in what her brother was saying and wanted to take some of the attention away from Jason. “So if the horned devil is not the sign of the devil what is?”

Nathan looked at Darion. “Go ahead, show her.”

Darion reached in his pocket and pulled out a few dollars in cash. He grabbed a one dollar bill and handed it to Alexia. Alexia took the dollar, looked to Nathan and said. “So George Washington is the devil.....I knew something wasn’t right about him.”

Nathan grinned. “Other side.” Alexia turned the bill over “See the pyramid, the eye at the top of it in the triangle. That’s the true sign of the devil, the eye of knowledge. Coincidentally it is also the symbol of the Illuminati.”
